The world famous Reading and Leeds Festival returns to its dual homes of Little Johns Farm in Reading and Bramham Park Leeds for its traditional three days of the best music from across the globe. This year, organisers Festival Republic have once again upped the ante with a trio of headliners playing exclusive sets for Europe’s biggest and best dual site, three day event. The countdown to the August Bank Holiday Weekend starts here.

 

 

 

It is with enormous pleasure that we announce the return to the live arena of Yorkshire’s favourite sons in a UK exclusive performance, THE ARCTIC MONKEYS, another UK exclusive from one of the world’s biggest bands in the shape of RADIOHEAD and an English exclusive from double Brit winners KINGS OF LEON. Below that triumvirate of rock godheads are a list of bands that read like a who’s who of rock and alternative music.

 

In addition to the amazing acts confirmed today there is plenty more to come. Look out for a very special announcement on the Radio One / NME Stage soon alongside the cream of the punk and skate scene on the ever popular Lock-Up Stage whilst the headliners of the future will be packed into the Festival Republic Stage. With BBC Introducing giving unsigned and under the radar bands a break at both sites and a host of other late night entertainment, film, comedy and cabaret this is the ultimate weekend for the true music fan.

Over 3 days and 150 acts, this is the Reading and Leeds Festival, back again to make the summer worthwhile.
